A reward is being offered to help find those responsible for the vandalism and destruction of a statue at Helias High School this week.

The Jefferson City Area Crime Stoppers is offering a $500 reward that would lead to the arrest and conviction of persons responsible for destroying the statue of Jesus and Mary sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
